I’ve been to a lot of shows and this has by far, been the best experience. From a vendor perspective, the whole behind AND in front scene view… swift, quick guiding… Great personnel! From a consumer (making my family come= perspective, prices on food and drinks were to standard comparison to local markets AND my five kids spent the day hanging out with mom…. For free <under 12)! Super accommodating, family friendly highly recommended. Lots to see, great inspiration. Can't say enough great things as this will absolutely be a family tradition, moving forward.
